The Series Is Back: Notorious Economic Students

Barack Obama's father was a Harvard trained economist. The school's influence was interesting. He came out of Harvard and ended up advocating the communal ownership of land.

He advocated dramatically increasing taxation on "the rich" even up to the 100% level . And in Kenya, he advocated the nationalization of "European" and "Asian" owned enterprises, including hotels, with the control of these operations handed over to the "indigenous" black population.
